Wookieepedia doesn't have the following listed as Bounty Hunters: Canderous,
Kal Skirata, Jax Pavan, Aldar Beedo. Can anyone confirm that they are bounty hunters?

I have the "Who's Who" book from Episode I, and it says Beedo was once a Bounty Hunter.

The problem is that, in Star Wars, the term "bounty hunter" is often used interchangeably with things like "mercenary" or "hired gun". We never see some of them actually hunting bounty, but we do see them as hired guns.

You know, this thing actually bothers me. TCW is the best example of this. Of all the "bounty hunters" introduced in the show (I will avoid naming them for the sake of the game), we don't see them doing any bounty hunting. They are always hired as mercs, thieves or assassins.
We know that Jango and Boba did both assassin and bounty jobs, but can anyone name a single bounty that the new bounty hunters of the TCW brought in?

As an aside, I'm rather miffed that there were two questions that I could have won, while I was away. And, also, I can totally recite the periodic table ._________________I am a Star Wars fan. That doesn't mean that I hate or love Jar Jar. That doesn't mean I hate or love Lucas, or agree or disagree 100% with him. That doesn't mean I prefer the PT over the OT, or vice versa. That doesn't mean I hate the EU, or even love all of it (or even read all of it). These are not prerequisites. Being a man is not a prerequisite. Being a geek is not a prerequisite. The only prerequisite is that I love something about Star Wars. I am a Star Wars fan.

Asajj Ventress, in the S4 finale, took the bounty notice for Savage Opress. Her intent was to take him out via lightsaber. If the bounty notice said "dead or alive" and she brought proof, I would count that.

But you're right; most TCW bounty hunters only act as mercenaries (hired guns protecting a town, hired guns protecting a shipment, hired guns performing a rescue op, etc.) Which is why I think the question should be amended._________________http://taralbooks.blogspot.ca

I verified Pavan and I'll count Beedo. Can anyone verify if Canderous was mentioned as doing bounty hunting in the Revan novel? I don't have it.

From Revan by Drew Karpyshyn: Chapter 3: He still looked every bit the part of a mercenary, though Revan knew he hadn’t accepted a job since they’d teamed up to take down Darth Malak two years earlier....

.... “You know why I’ve been hanging around this kriffing bar for two years, turning down everyone who came to offer me a job?” he asked. He didn’t bother to wait for a reply. “I had a feeling you were going to get mixed up in something interesting, and I wanted to be around for the fun.

After all this time my dear, to come to hate me over a simple matter of sport? No, I believe we've known each other too long for that _________________Perfection is a lifelong pursuit requiring sacrifice. The only way to get it quicker is to sacrifice the most.
